Preventing a message to appear

How can I prevent the message below to appear?

Caution! "1234_VO-BK-001" is an externally referenced block.
Renaming it will also rename its dependent symbols.

Hi Marcel,

What are you doing to make it appear ?

Isn't it obvious?

 

Marcel,

Rather than assume we know exactly how you are
renaming the xref, post the code you are using so
we can all be on the same page. I assume that you
are not using any activeX functions to do this?

 

Isn't it obvious, Jason??!?

 

Hi Marcel,

I was making an attempt to help you. But clearly you don't want help.

Can't say I blame you Laurie. Normally people who ask for help know that
they are asking for help. They should realize that the people who help here
are experienced and can easily tell by your post that you are renaming a
block. However, what they don't know is how you are going about it...doubt
there'll be much more help availible on this post....

 

Sorry if I stept on anyones toes here. Didn't mean to.

Maby I should have added : ) or ; )

 

That sounds verry resolute.
I used to be able to prevent messages like these from apearing by changing
the expert variable.
But I guess it's not possible for the message below then.

 

Did you get the problem resolved?

 

Maybe Mr. Bell was referring to using the
command function?


Command: xref
Attach Xref "123": C:\Temp\123.dwg
"123" loaded.

Command: (setq item (vla-item (vla-get-blocks *doc*) "123"))
#<VLA-OBJECT IAcadBlock2 0ae56c34>

Command: (vla-put-name item "456")
nil

Command: -block

Enter block name or [?]: ?

Enter block(s) to list <*>:

Defined blocks.
"456" Xref: resolved

 

Nope! According to Robbert Bell it cannot be solved.

 

See my post in this thread regarding the use of the
command function.
